Well well well well!!!! Oh My! Well....what is there to say about that? This is amazing....in ALLways @nonamesleftouse! The story line you gave to accompany these incredible expression suits it to a T!!!! I'm super stoked to see what you do with 2 months off. No wonder you were welcomed back with such open arms.
I'm so glad you directed me to this post---it was the highlight of my day here on Steemit! I'd love to know how you create all these amazing creatures and such...you have such a fluid and expressive style.
Primo post! Thank you for the blessing!
I keep a lot of the process to myself. It's difficult to explain, but it's certainly not as simple as the push of a few buttons and a filter. Quite time consuming but for a few of the images I allow myself to use the mirror tool. That splits the canvas in half or quarters and allows me to paint all sections at once. You'd think that would make life easy, but I challenge myself. The one called Genius or Insanity as well as Double Down are identical when flipped over. The air brush is my main weapon. It's like a virtual can of spray paint that I can adjust things like pressure and color quite easily. My fingers never get messy, so that's kind of nice!
I've been developing my own style since the get go. Sometimes I'll simply splatter colors everywhere at random. Then, when pareidolia kicks in and I start seeing a face appear or an animal, I'll build on it and make it look more like what I thought I saw. It's much like how we see things in the clouds, except I then start sculpting the cloud. I'm painting what wants to be there, rather than me wanting it to be there.. if that makes sense. So that's one secret I guess.
Thanks for checking this out. I tend to hide my work within my humorous ramblings. I don't really even talk about it much in my posts. That part is more for the comment section. Anyway, you have a good day!
It's awesome to see things in your own work. In the works of nature, and in sculpted carpets, wall textures, burning flames...and just about everywhere, I see things I always think would be fun to bring to life. It's fun to see how you've brought these images out into the flow of your work. I love the way they feel and can tell you really love doing it--which is key! Grateful to witness the magnificence and grateful to have come across this post. Thanks for sharing such potent expression @nonamesleftouse. Feeling blessed by the experience.
